J'ai eu la chirurgie d'oeil (I had eye surgery)

Yes, it's true - I did it again on June 26 - stitches in the eye, extreme sensitivity to light, horrible headaches and all... I went to the eye doctor for a prescription for glasses. Unfortunately the vision had significantly worsened in my left and, as expected, this caused some concern so the doctor ran some additional tests and determined that I would need a corneal wedge resection to correct the massive astigmatism that had formed.
I am sending this post via e-mail so I am not sure how this link will translate http://optometry.com/lasik.html#dark.
If you don't want to read the long and complicated explanation of what he did to me I will give you the short version. My doctor cut a small, triangular piece of my cornea out and then stitched my cornea back together. It sure was a treat. The drugs during the surgery weren't as good this time but the drugs after were grrrreat.
Now, as I am going through the healing process again, I am sitting here at work with one good eye wearing a visor to cut the glare of the florescent lights.
Did I mention I had stitches in my eye....?
